45 minutes after completion of Game 1
RHP Dakota Hudson (1-2, 2.77) vs. bullpen game
Cardinals are the home team
FOX Sports Midwest // KMOXHudson has been moved to Sunday, with this now being a bullpen game for both teams.
Gomber gets the start. Cubs starter is RHP Colin Rea.
1. Kolten Wong (L) 2B
2. Tommy Edman (S) 3B
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
4. Brad Miller (L) DH
5. Paul DeJong (R) SS
6. Lane Thomas (R) RF
7. Tyler O’Neill (R) LF
8. Matt Wieters (S) C
9. Harrison Bader (R) CFNow at the halfway point of the season (if they need to play all 60), the Cards need to take advantage of the Cubs bullpen in game 2. Hopefully Gomber can give us a solid 2 innings or perhaps more.
I’m optimistically hoping for 3 or more innings from Gomber. If he is efficient, he could do it. He threw 12 pitches on the 2nd and 16 on August 31st. He’s thrown as many as 34 pitches twice this year in relief. Time for him to make a statement about being a starter.
Wieters looks like the most automatic out in the lineup right now. I’d like to hope he can provide some value like he did late last year, but it’s not looking promising.
Gomber is wild. If the Cubs batters had just stood in the batters box and not swung at anything, they would have had the bases lose and who knows how many runs they would have scored. I hope Gomber figures it out, and if he doesn’t, I hope the Cubs don’t figure out what’s going on.
5 Ks for Gomber in 2-2/3. He battled. Helsley is coming in. He was iffy his first time out, so hopefully he’s knocked some rust off.
Helsley is just chucking em down the middle. He needs a putout pitch here. He gets him to pop out. A bit harrowing, but it worked.
Bull Shildt again pushing all the right buttons, pulling Gomber at the perfect time and inserting Helsley who rewards him by getting out of the inning. 3-0 Cards.
